Livingston County Sheriff’s authorities reported the arrest of four men Friday on third-degree burglary charges after a lengthy joint investigation with the New York State Police.

Arrested were Jimmie J. Lane, 22; Michael D. Pragle, 24; Justin M. Buzard, 20; and Shawn E. Roney, 18. The suspects, all from Wayland, are accused of involvement in stealing items from an empty house and a garage in the Town of Sparta. Authorities said a safe, jewelry and an ATV were among the items taken and additional charges are likely. Investigators had been probing thefts in Sparta, Springwater, Groveland and West Sparta.

The investigation is also linked to an arrest on Jan. 23 of Matthew Stewart, age and address not available, and Jimmie Lane for a separate burglary. Stewart remaines locked up in the Livingston County Jail with bail. Lane had been bailed out following his Jan. 23 arrest but sheriff’s deputies said Lane would probably remain in jail this time.
All four men were arraigned in Springwater Town Court and remanded to the Livingston County Jail with bail set at $20,000 cash or $40,000 property bond.
